GUEST,julia L | Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words (80* d) | RE: Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words | 13 Jul 11 |
I have over 24 sets of lyrics to this melody, with more surfacing all the time. I had not one, but two elderly ladies sing me their (different) summer camp songs which had been written to this tune. I think it is perhaps the very moving melody that is perennially appealing and transcends the lyrics, maudlin or not. |
